Silly question but does Fordham have its own bus for athletics ?This summer I've seen Lehigh, Fairfield, Cornell and Manhattan College busses around the city. I've never seen a coach bus for Fordham.Just curious.

I've thought the same thing that it would be a good rolling advertisement.

I didn't consider the vandalism aspect, good point 85. However, per Chaka buses are very expensive to buy and maintain, and Fordham is really stretched on budget.

There are also the legal and PR implications that come with owning the bus and hiring the driver, should there ever be any sort of accident. BTW, finding a good reliable driver with a CDL license and clean driving record (important in case there is an accident and lawsuit) is no small feat given the competition for those folks.

I doubt most of these schools own the buses. I also doubt it is their own driver, though they might get the same ones based on contract with the bus company.
